Today in the SVP Lounge, CT, Dan, Eric and Matt convene to talk about Randy Edsall’s firing as Maryland head football coach. They react to the news breaking on Thursday, the Terps playing surprisingly tough against Ohio State, the awkward post game press conference and Mike Locksley’s status. Plus: Outlook on the rest of the season, a Kenny Tate/Adrian Moten argument, don’t go to Magic Maryland Madness and more.

Topics discussed include:

Randy Edsall OUT as Maryland football head coach, Mike Locksley named the interim head coach

Did you really believe it when the Jeff Ermann dropped the news that Edsall would be fired following the Ohio State game?

Thoughts on how Kevin Anderson handled the situation, from the news leak to the press conference

The Terps go out and play hard against Ohio State before the Buckeyes pulled away half way through the first quarter

Had to be excited after that first score, at least a little bit, right?

The guys agree that even if the Terps had beaten Ohio State that Maryland would have fired Edsall anyway

You could tell by the play calling that Randy knew this was it

Perry Hills rushing the ball is what kept Maryland in the game, he’s probably going to be the starter going forward

The wide receivers have been garbage

Matt, again, wants Brad Craddock to punt

The guys speak highly about Hills’ performance, but that doesn’t mean they’re high on Hills

Most of Locksley’s more successful offenses have come with mobile quarterbacks, so expect to see more of Perry Hills using his legs

Randy storms out of the press conference after a dumb first question. Weird way to see him go out

What’s the outlook for the rest of the season? Does anything really change?

What’s Locksley’s status if he starts winning games? Should Maryland’s next head coach try and retain him in some capacity?

How would you recruit high schoolers to Maryland? CT would go the Louisville-hooker route

Saying goodbye to Randy Edsall. What were the high points of his tenure? They’re limited

How will the openings at Southern California and South Carolina affect Maryland’s coaching search?

Early head coaching candidates? Season is going to have to play out for any progress to be made on this front. Hooray weeks of baseless speculation!

CT thinks that Greg Schiano hires people to throw his name into coaching searches. Nobody wants him, yet his name always comes up

Penn State kick off set for 3:30

The guys debate whether it was Kenny Tate or Adrian Moten who made the 4th-and-goal tackle on Navy’s Ricky Dobbs back in the 2010 opener

Magic Maryland Madness is Saturday. He’s the list of guys from the podcast attending:

Do anything but go to Magic Maryland Madness

Ramzy insists Maryland will give Ohio State its best shot, like every other team

Joey Bossa is playing like it’s the Super Bowl every damn game

The defense rarely has a bad play, let alone two in a row

Randy Edsall is always smiling

Players only meeting held, Edsall’s blindsided. Has he lost the players? This is just a bigger piece in the larger puzzle

Looming hurricane causes the game time to be shifted from 8 p.m. to noon. The guys are bummed there won’t be another night game this year

CT and Matt go a double date, their girlfriends now do a “are you buying me a dog” bit to annoy them

Realized that they never spoke of the Maryland-West Virginia football game throughout their entire evening out

Terps lose to the Mountaineers 46-6

The entire fan base has come around the cul de sac and everyone’s done with Randy Edsall

West Virginia has dominated Maryland for the last 8 years

The game with Matt with a lot of questions. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

Q: What Randy Edsall disaster does this remind you of? A: All of the them!

As terrible as the offense was, the defense was even more atrocious

Edsall’s teams never ever come out energized

Looking ahead to potential wins, taking 2 or 3 more games is going to be a fight. The next few games will tell us a lot about this team

What would it take to actually get rid of Randy Edsall? From a football and fan perspective it makes sense, but there’s much more to it

The guys walk through the other parties involved in hiring and firing football coaches and the politics that come with it

CT and Matt are concerned if logistically the university could do a good job at hiring a coach

Firing Edsall would be a blow to Kevin Anderson’s ego

We could still see Edsall back again next year. Maryland’s afraid of the rebuild

The whole Byrd Stadium-name controversy only makes things more annoying

The guys don’t care at all — More offended by the football team

CT is bummed out he’s missing the tailgate on Saturday

Terps are +16 underdogs to Michigan in their token night game of the year, sure to be a flood of opposing fans

Previewing the Michigan Wolverines

The guys feel like Michigan looks ahead of schedule in Jim Harbaugh’s first year, but still seem a little overinflated. They played bad teams in UNLV and Oregon State, as well as a beaten down BYU squad

Maryland could compete, though, they are really good at getting their doors blown off

Offense is run heavy, Jake Rudock looks to be improving

Defense is strong, experienced

CT details his SECOND experience with TGIFriday’s Endless Appetizers

Pro tip: Avoid the potato skins

For his last plate, CT tried the peanut butter and jelly boneless buffalo wings — They were gross

Plus: A change in quarterback, Can Maryland get back on track with a win over South Florida on Saturday, Eric melting down and much more.

Topics discussed include:

We’re back for a second episode this week!

Eric reports on the scene from Byrd Stadium, says he should’ve left during the storm delay. This is the game that’s caused him to turn the corner on Randy Edsall

Matt opts to go to a beerfest with Dan in Annapolis, watches the end of the game at a bar, was completely distraught after the game

The team is a mess

The guys start second guessing coaching calls

Caleb Rowe takes over the starting quarterback job over Perry Hills

By going to Rowe, Hills' failure is on Randy Edsall, not many people talking about that about because the team loss to the Falcons

Matt talks about Randy’s struggles in dealing with the quarterback situation, Maryland’s poor quarterback situation in previous years

The running game regressed, was quickly abandoned

Mike Locksley remains a poor play caller

Are we at the make or break point of the season already? Matt says no, Maryland is not as bad as they were in the second half, this is standard Terrapins operating procedure

Eric recounts the the offense’s struggles in the first half, everyone agrees no need to read into Rowe’s interceptions

Matt thinks people underestimate the consequences of blowing things up with Edsall, Eric thinks it doesn’t matters and that keeping Edsall prolongs the mediocrity

Eric now fiercely anti-Edsall, anti-Locksley

What’s the low point of Edsall’s tenure? Matt says easily his first season when he took a 9-4 team and turn it into a 2-10 team. Eric says the Bowling Green is it for him

Eric makes his case to fire Edsall, Matt argues the time to hire him is long gone

Eric totally melts down at the end of the show

What to expect when the Terps take the field against South Florida

Attendance was low, minimal tailgating scene

Rain delay cleared any small attendance out

Dan says he was over the loss as it was happening, won’t let it ruin his fall by putting stock into the results

CT was severely distraught after the game, will not do that again

The guys warn of getting too high on the thought of Dwayne Haskins coming to the rescue next year, he’ll still only be a freshman

A friend of the pod suggests the program is handcuffed to Randy Edsall with Dwayne Haskins in the fold. The program can’t move forward without firing Randy, but to move forward you also need Haskins — who is tied to Randy

It’s tough five years in and not see a whole lot of progress. The Bowling Green is among the two worsts losses of Randy’s tenure

Maryland is a -7.5 point favorite over South Florida

Randy makes a change at quarterback, Caleb Rowe is the new starter

It’s maddening that Rowe wasn’t name the starter initially, also maddening Randy hasn’t recruited a quarterback in five years

There is still time to turn it around!

Maryland basketball has a big time visitor in five star recruit Wenyen Gabriel, CT spots him leaving after the first quarter

What kind of impression do you think he got from the football game?

William Likely was the star, knifing the Spiders all afternoon and eventually breaking the Big Ten record for punt return yards in a game

Why did Richmond keep punting it to him?

Perry Hills was underwhelming

Hills is Matt’s new least favorite player, describes why he’s awful

Eric doesn’t think Hills will be the starter by the end of the year

The running game looked improved, helped stabilize things when Richmond was playing well. Everyone was fairly impressed

The defensive front seven looked great, Matt notes the gelling and maturing of the crop of local players now featuring prominently in the defense

First and foremost, the quarterback battle is discussed, Oklahoma State transfer Daxx Garman brought in to compete for the starting job

Dan and Matt think Caleb Rowe is Randy Edsall’s guy — That’s the first official hot take of the pod

The offense is going to look much different with whoever is playing quarterback than it did with CJ Brown last year

Rowe is a GUNSLINGER and Perry Hills is the GRIT

Moving onto the running game, Brandon Ross and Wes Brown are battling to be the no. 1 option

Last year’s running game was atrocious, CJ Brown was your leading rushing

It’s imperative that Maryland figures our a way to be successful running the ball

Dan presents his research on the offensive line, we’re going to start seeing some of the talent Randy has accrued in the past few years, average offensive line weight jumped 10 pounds

Eric is worried about the group is mostly unproven

The guys are bummed about losing Juwann Winfree and Marcus Leak

It’s redemption time for AJ Hendy, Matt says to look out for Denzel Conyers, Anthony Nixon took his lumps on those early bad Randy teams, but now is primed for a breakout

Will Likely is the most important player on the team, obvz

Sean Davis will play cornerback full time this year, is a prolific tackler

Alvin Hill is back from injury as well

All four of Maryland’s starting linebackers graduated, but, like with the wide receiver position, there is talent

Maryland loses Abner Logan in camp

Defensive line is the biggest question mark on this team

Quinton Jefferson is back from injury, Yannick Ngakoue has moved to defensive end

Dan wants to do see Kingsley Opara and his cardigan on the field

Reflecting on Brad Craddock’s greatness

The Terps could be in a lot of close games, and a good special teams could be the difference maker

Matt hated Nate Renfro last year, thinks he’ll meet seven people that night in D.C. that are better than Renfro

Can Craddock punt?

Likely is a king punt returner
